Amelia's POV"I don't know," I confessed, frustration bubbling up in my chest. "Part of me wants to stick it to him, to quit and find another job. But then there's Mom, and I need the money desperately."Blaire nodded, understanding etched on her face. "I understand. It's a difficult situation with no easy solutions."Just then, I remembered that I had gotten two messages, but Blaire and I had gotten carried away with Eddie's message. I snatched my phone back from Blaire and checked the message.I deflated the moment I saw it. It was a message from Mom's hospital, reminding me of the bills I had to pay.My breath hitched as I saw the hospital reminder message staring back at me. It wasn't just a gentle nudge; it was a jarring slap of reality. The unpaid bills loomed over me like a dark storm cloud, threatening to engulf me in their financial load."Oh, Amelia," Blaire murmured sympathetically, as she leaned in and also saw the message. She reached out and squeezed my hand, offering si

Amelia's POV"Alright, darling," she said. "Love you.""Love you too, Mom."Hanging up, the weight of responsibility settled heavily on my shoulders.Finally, the time came to face the day. Blaire drove me to Eddie's house. "Be strong, Amelia," Blaire said, her hand gently squeezing mine. "You got this."I nodded, forcing a smile. "Thanks, Blaire. I really appreciate everything."Stepping out of the car, I took a deep, fortifying breath. The sight of the imposing mansion sent a pang through my heart. Closing my eyes for a moment, I visualized my plan, the words I would say, the boundaries I would set. With a newfound resolve, I raised my hand and knocked on the oak door.The wait seemed to stretch on forever until the door creaked open, revealing a surprised-looking Eddie. His eyes widened as he saw me, surprise quickly morphing into something unreadable."Amelia," he said, his voice a low rumble. "I wasn't expecting you so… early."Just then, Chloe came bounding towards us, she was
Lustful Desire Chapter 56.
Amelia's POVIn the center of the room stood a white canopy bed, draped in sheer pink curtains that created a magical, secret world. A stuffed unicorn with a rainbow mane lay sprawled on the bed sheets, its horn glistening in the sunlight streaming through the window.As I entered the room, Chloe was perched on a beanbag chair, excitedly chattering on a plastic princess phone, her voice animated and full of childish wonder."Hello? Yes, this is Princess Chloe," she chirped, her eyes sparkling with an unbridled imagination. "I'm having breakfast with Amelia! We're having pancakes, and they're going to be delicious!"I couldn't help but chuckle at her innocent enthusiasm. Stepping inside, I closed the door gently, leaving the weight of the conversation downstairs behind for a moment."Hey, princess," I said, my voice softening as I knelt before her. "Are you ready for some yummy pancakes?"Chloe's eyes lit up, her smile wider than ever. "Yes, Amelia! Can we add sprinkles too? And maybe
Lustful Desire Chapter 57.
Amelia's POVChloe would most definitely insist on helping me with making pancakes and might get herself all dirty again. I knew that I must find a way to stop her from helping me so that I wouldn’t have to dress her up all over again but then I knew she would cry if I tried to stop her and then she took the words from my mouth before I could say anything."Daddy, won't you thank Amelia for helping me get dressed up? She even made my hair like Rapunzel's! And guess what dad, I love it!” I heard Chloe say as I looked around the kitchen for an apron I could make her use.Eddie looked up from Chloe, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his features. "Thank you, Amelia," he said, his voice polite but distant. "That's very kind of you."I offered a strained smile in response, the silence stretching uncomfortably between us. Then, disaster struck."Can I help make pancakes with Amelia, Daddy? Please?" Chloe pleaded, her eyes wide with anticipation.My heart sank. Chloe would insist on

Amelia's POV"Oh, my goodness, Chloe," I exclaimed, jumping slightly as the clock on the wall chimed, startling me out of my own thoughts. "It's almost eight! You're going to be late for school!"Chloe's eyes widened as she glanced at the clock. "Oh no! I need to see Louis before going to my classroom" she cried, scrambling out of her chair, the remnants of her breakfast forgotten. Eddie and I looked at her, looking so confused."Daddy, will you take me to school?" She asked. “And who is Louis?” Eddie asked her.“My boyfriend,” she said shyly. Eddie and I burst into laughter as we found her words to be so funny. I asked her if Louis was so handsome and also the reason why she fell for him.She told me that Louis was so handsome and she fell for his pretty face. She turned to Eddie again and then told him that she would be late to school if we continued questioning her."Daddy, will you take me to school?" She asked again.I watched her turn to Eddie, her voice full of excitement. He

Amelia’s POV"C'mon, Amelia. Please, I need you and I know that you know that Chloe needs you as well. See how close you guys have gotten within just a couple of days of knowing each other."I mulled over his words, knowing that he was right. Chloe had grown so attached to me that it broke my heart to see how much the little girl just craved love and attention from a mother-figure. I knew from what Eddie had told me that he and wife had been divorced for a while now. However, there had been a bitter and wry twist to his mouth when he had mentioned it that had made me believe that the divorce had not exactly been amicable. And Chloe was a chatty girl, in just a few hours, she had told me about her friends, her hobbies and even her dad's schedule and the way he loved to spoil her. But there had rarely been a mention of her mother, just a sentence that had told me that her mother was not exactly the warm type that would have time for a child. My heart broke even more for Chloe as I recal
Lustful Desire Chapter 60.
Amelia’s POVI opened the door to Eddie’s room and it was a beautiful sight to behold. The room exudes a sharp efficiency, an order that speaks of control. Sunlight shines through a meticulously cleaned window, illuminating the polished hardwood floor, where no dust speck dares to linger. A neatly made bed is centered against the wall, with sheets pulled taut like a drumhead and a comforter folded with military precision.On the nightstand was a single, crystal-clear glass of water reflecting the sunlight like a watchful eye. A new leather briefcase rests on the only chair, its contents meticulously organized.Across the room, a bookshelf displays a meticulously curated collection: several books including the travel brochures showcasing exotic locales, none with coffee stains. A framed degree hangs on the wall, its silver frame gleaming, and the picture was that of Eddie and Chloe. The air hums with a quiet tension, the silence broken only by the faint tick of a clock in the corner. I

Amelia's POV"Hello?"Shit! It's Eddie," I thought frantically to myself as I looked and began to scurry around the room for a broom or vacuum cleaner. But there wasn't any. "Amelia? Are you home?" Eddie's voice and footsteps were now much closer. He had obviously climbed the staircase and was about to reach the room. I heard the sound of a door opening and closing and knew that he had checked Chloe's room first. What the hell is he doing back home so soon? He literally just left, I screamed inwardly. I looked down at the broken pieces, looked up at the door and eventually looked down, my heart and face squeezed in panic.Damn it, I said to myself and darted away from where I was in the middle of the room. I then quickly hid myself inside his wardrobe but I was unable to fit in and then I came out and tried to find a way to get out of the mess I created for myself at that moment. I looked around the room and I was glad I had taken care of the room after foolishly rummaging around i
